Design Thesis
This magazine does not have a focus on a certain
age group. Who doesn’t LOVE accessories? Jewelry,
scarves, hand bags, shoes, belts, and headbands can
make or break an outfit, so why not find out what is in
style with the celebs. You will be able to learn the
Elements and Principles of design and how it is related
to all different types of accessories. We all have our
different styles, but why not know the meanings behind
your style?
Interest: Decorating
Going to the beach Shopping
Watching Movies Baking

About the Editor I was born and raised in
Charlotte, North Carolina. I have grown up loving the design field, always redoing and rearranging my room, doing crafts, and into color
schemes. How I would describe my design style would be an edgy, rustic feel. That was my main inspiration for creating this magazine. Accessories are very crucial to me and I thought that many others would find it interesting
how they are related to the Elements and Principles of Design. I hope that this magazine can inform you of fun, exciting facts about accessories that you may have not ever thought of.
Love, Paige Allen
